4-3 now, Judd has just played a jump shot and got it, although the ball was over the pocket. He then misses the 3 ball :(

Just tuned in.
Can someone explain to me like I'm a 6 year old how the double elimination works? If you win, you are back in the main draw to face a top player?

It's confusing to be honest but today is the last day of the double elimination.

No, it's a bit more complicated than that. There's a winners bracket and a losers bracket. If you keep winning, it's reasonably straightforward in that it's a conventional path through to the last 16. But once you lose and are in the losers bracket, you can't just win a game to get back into the winners bracket, you have to keep on winning matches against the players who have just lost in the winners bracket until you reach the final "losers qualification" stage. This is when there are sixteen players who have lost one match each, who then play each other to determine which eight join the eight players who have won all their matches to make up the last sixteen.
I've made that sound way more complicated than it is! If you click
here you can see the draw and hopefully see how it works in practice.

10-10 and Judds opponent to break in the decider :( Judd had a chance there so that is very disappointing. Will he get one in the decider?

Well, good on him for having a go, and even better actually holding his own and winning a couple of games. Realistically, he’s done ok.
Now back to the 12ft table!

No, that was his second loss. He's eliminated.

I thought the winner of this plays Shaw. Just saw that he already had played Shaw.

Very bad loss for Judd. I think I would have won against Charlize Theron.

That´s rather rubbish from Judd. Even Ronnie would had got better of him! Mark Selby too.
Jayson played decent 9-ball just in patches, nothing more. Judd just basically kept on missing the rather easy shots, in terms of how he should played the safety-deparments. Jayson missed some sitters, in my mind of which are those, but whose solid enough. No matter how strange that is. Jayson basically played the percentage-shots, he knew he would miss, either the pot or the position, but overally he always should had go for JUST those particular efforts.
Nothing special. Can still se why Jayson is a "Mosconi Cup start", even when I would think it quite differently..
Jayson probably "played" Judd a but, meaning he could had played better single shots but didn´t as he thought playing some rubbish would put Judd even more off.
That´s my taking of it, in terms of what little but still enough as it is me as I saw of it.
Goes without saying; Judd´s first two opponents were jokes. They were a way too nervous to had even any basic standards going. Still and nevertheless, Joe Magee played a one really nice shot. Goes without saying, nothing to with the standards. Playing and sporting a one good shot.
Some probably miss Mark Selby and WC after watching these. Wellllll, that´s a kind of true. Selby taking Stuart Bingham apart. Stuart could some basics but just kept on leaking a prospects... Same as Judd tends to do while playing a 9 or 10 ball. How about 8 then. Don´t know. Can only gues....
Or how about Shaun Murphy basically going for everything during that famous final?? Selby potted everything spot on. Nothing to do with the nerves. Some gruelling Joe Magee -type of a shots also involved..
Well, I don´t miss those right now. Could do seeing more Jayson, Ronnie. It can only get better, to be hones....

Not sure what you're on about with this. Jayson Shaw missed a grand total of two pots in his entire match with Judd and neither could be described as a "sitter".
Are you sure you're not getting confused with Judd's match against Jason Theron? Your analysis would make a lot more sense if so (although Jason Theron couldn't be a "Mosconi Cup start" as he's from South Africa).

Yeap, knowing Selby, he would only go down to a top player like Jason Shaw when he played Trump. He would be competitive like you say, and even was 8 ball world champion in 2006.

True, but that was English 8 ball.
